Unfoonk, Young Thug's brother, is one of the YSL co-defendants who previously earned their freedom back via a plea deal. Unfortunately, the embattled artist was arrested again last month for violating the terms of his agreement. At the time, officers found a weapon on his person. Unfoonk was brought in on charges of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, persons associated with a criminal street gang to participate in illegal activity, and a few other traffic offences, as HipHopDX reports.

Today (June 5), the Georgia native had his day in court. Sadly for him, Judge Ural Glanville sentenced him to nearly a decade in jail. "Part of the special condition was that you were not supposed to possess a gun," Unfoonk – born Quantavious Grier – was lectured by the Glanville. "And the state was pretty clear. I find, based upon a preponderance of the evidence, that the state has proved its case that you have violated your probation."

Unfoonk Has His Day in Court

"Your attorney has asked me to consider a revocation of two years. And I certainly respect her, and I respect that you don’t know unless you ask. But the issue I find aggravating in this particular circumstance is that you got arrested with a gun within six months of you being placed on probation," the judge continued. Afterward, he made it clear that he doesn't see Unfoonk as a candidate for probation due to his recent antics.

Other conditions that were a part of last December's plea deal included staying out of contact with Thugger and other co-defendants until the end of the trial, completing 750 hours of community service, and sticking to a 10 PM to 6 AM curfew. Elsewhere in the news, a deputy affiliated with the YSL case was arrested earlier this month. She's since had a $1M bond set, which you can read all about at the link below.
